Mapping Global Protest Tendencies: Geolocating Trends and Topics Through Wikipedia Analysis

Résumé

This study investigates the diverse manifestations of ’protest’ across cultures and regions, aiming to provide a nuanced understanding of global dynamics and their impact on human rights. Utilizing topic modeling methods, we extract a substantial corpus of documents from the English Wikipedia, employing precise clustering techniques to categorize various types of protests based on semantic elements such as race, gender, and language. Through cartographic visualization, we illustrate the frequency and distribution of different protest topics. The primary goal is to identify geographic hotspots of human rights conflict, offering a detailed analysis of regional differences in protest propensity. This research serves as an initial step towards a comprehensive global understanding of protest dynamics and their implications for human rights worldwide.
